New Video Shows Syrian Army Strikes in Sheikh Maqsoud Area of Aleppo

New Video Shows Attacks by Syrian Army in Aleppo

The Syrian Democratic Forces, led by Kurdish fighters, have released a new video depicting the Syrian army bombing a large munitions and weapons depot belonging to the SDF in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo. This incident took place on January 9, 2026.

The footage captures the intensity of the bombardment and the destruction caused by the Syrian army's attacks in an area already afflicted by conflict. Following the strikes, a Kurdish leader emphasized the necessity for dialogue to prevent a "real catastrophe in Aleppo."

This escalation occurs against a backdrop of increased violence in the region, following the collapse of peace negotiations, which has paved the way for new confrontations among the various armed factions.
